It Is Only One Day[6] Poem by Gert Strydom

It is only one day
before tomorrow comes
and on the other side of tomorrow,
there lies another one
and I wonder how many tomorrows
still wait for me?

Who really knows
what the next day brings
and if it will be great,
or bad or sad,
or wonderful
and how long
life still stretches on
before destiny
draw its last line?

Still people wait for a morning
when the Creator
and Redeemer
of the universe comes,
or if the morning suddenly disappears
you might be with Him
much sooner after
that last sleep that comes.
